cape girardeau argus vol iv no 29 cape girardeau missouri thursday december 27 1866 the dying year's farewell from tbe memphis argus.l it comes thron-?b the wintry night a deep and solemn drain like the voice of the distant torrent migbt or tbe moan of the sleepless mam ; but wild is th music of wind-woke strings id its far and fltfnl swell and swift ag tbe passage of eagle wings is the dying year's farewell it floaty b'er the faded fields where the reaper's joy bathbeea with the song of praise the peasant yields for the harvests h hath seen ; but the song gr ws sad on the dreary fclain of america's wintry shore fÂ»r it tells of the eyes that look in vain for ihl lovedâ€”who come no more it sweeps thrcmgb the ancient wood throjjgh the ruins vast and dim by the shadowy path of the forest's flood by the desert fountain's brim and it wakes the tones which the wilderness hath long in ber silence shrin-w * the echoes of long forgotten days tbat have left no trace behind it rings through crowded marts of the old w^rld wejsltli and power and it winds its way to tbe weary hearts in the hush of the dreamy hour to the young it speaks of their future springe with the breezes blithe and bland but it tells the aged of better things in the far unfading land j a dactjs miscellany written expressly for the weekir argu*j "] berthie a christmas story â€”â€” tell me no moreâ€”no more of my soul's lofty gifts ! are th<*y not tain to quench its haunting thirst for bapplneshp have i not love*u and striven and failed to liiha one true heart unto me whereon my own might find a resting placeâ€”a home for all its burden of affectiou i depart unknown though fame goes with me i must leave the earth unknown yet may it be that dc-ath shall give my name a powi-r to win such ttars a would have made life precious berthie tho proud and beautiful berthieâ€”a hurricano of passion a heaven of loveâ€”paced with nervous footsteps tbe luxurious boudoir which an indulgent father had made ber own the furrows of love with scorn and suffering rage and the bitterness of blasted hope liko a storm cloud over a summer's eky for the moment hid â– tbe intellectual beauty of her angelic face thon melted away in a flood of tears â€” capricious and contradictory in tbe minor details of life there was a granite undergrowth of moral firm ness and intellectual decision in ber character of which but one knew and fully appreciated him she loved and that love was the cause of all her anguish if she could she would have torn that love from her heart if she could she wnuld have embra ced it as the happiness of her life her heaven she loved him for what he was but wished to destroy it on ac count of the appreciation of others too proud to submit to public opin ion she yet was the slave of that opinion without submission a storm of passion from these contending el ements made her love-life one of sor row the gay world in which she lived and could have moved with surpassing splendor for its fickleness and infidelity its malicious gossip and vanity now became to her bitter as death a lie which had destroyed her life-hope yet although she trampled upon it in proud anger she knew herself to be its slave wearing its chains and groaning beneath its yoke berthie was loved by one whose holy passictn was too intense for words but yet made known by every passing sign and token which she fondly received fully understood and cherished as the life and love of her woman's heart she was loved and yet how strange that love it was like the upheaving of angry wa ters in the unfathomable caverns ef the ocean when its bosom is unruf fled by a passing breeze and com mcrce and ambition impeded by its very idleness every look from her to him was bliss to see her hear her breathe in the fragrance of ber presence was for the moment suffi cient to dispel the dark gloom of his sorrowful life she was to him like an echo sending back to bis aching heart the buried past with twice aeri al sweetness because the heart-chord was broken and tbe music was lost forever in the echo she was to him a dream so bright so beautiful and yet a mournful delusion pointing out the peace and hope of the past in the darkness of tbe present and lost in the hopeless night of the future â€” such was their love but whence it came or how matured neither could explain or knew our hearts our morals our lives are controlled by invisible agents the principles of attraction and repulsion which gov ern immensurable matter and heaps it np in world that roll in symmetry and order through space govern the lightest aotion and byqtj thought of individuality in the breathing mass of life berthie even while she felt ber love the single and overflowing happiness pf ber sou land defied the fond admiration which ber wijtching beanty jconld ever attract to draw her from him yet now was drawn more than ever to the gay balls of fashionable resoit in tbe hope of meeting him sbe had just returned from a brilliant ball where beauty ; sparkled through the mazy dance j where all of which cape girardeau j could boast of bloom and skill of wit \ and the most rare and exquisite j charmsâ€”blue eyes whoso sleepy lids resemble the autumn rose witb the first frost upon it j cheeks and lips with aurora's morning hue and tho warmth of a spring day's sun where amid the rosy dream of sweet music angelic forms gleam and shoot l&e the white sea-birds over the wa ters of the deep each combining some witching power to pleaseâ€”one a glance or step which for weeks sh w has practiced before a'mirror anoth er who in every look expresses the concentrated beams of beau'y d&'z zling and warm into some poor mas culine heartâ€”one who with a sweet lisp can win to what ehe wiil and whose words persuade not by their meaning but by the beautiful lips through which they pass there were the twin friends the laughing gay and ever kind mary's whoee cheeks would make the spring red rose blush ; little sweetness ever gen ! tie and kind mistress tattle and mistress catcbnie gay and dashing widows whom benedicts and widow ers fearedâ€”the former because of her ongue the latter because ttiey would not be led unwilling captives to hy men's bower j the beautiful kat whose courtly dignity and courteous etiquette drew an admiring recogni tion from all whom she would deign to acknowledgej beauteous girls from the country known by tbeir exclu sive home circle of acquaintances tÂ»nd sweet little spring buds who dare not look up in tbe gorgeous throng yet were not forgotten or less admir ed there were gay young gents whose entiro rafnge of thought is com prised in their favorite expression the young ladies and who seek to win more by the perfumed oil on tbe head than tbe wit within reck less men and nervous mothers made up the grand company and the rich temptutious of the night lie whom she so fondly loved for whom she proudly received the ad miration envy and homage which ber queenly beauty everywhere elic ited was also there she had felt his presence and it had thrilled thro her every vein even before her eye had detected him among tbe crowd the maidens around ber saw the blood as it rushed from ber heart to her face and tben from ber face to her heart leaving hor cold and pale as marble none but one knew tbe cause she had divined and detected it with the instinct of a jealous wo man's eye she was a dashing beau ty coquettish with allâ€”yet loved but one and now that the proud and haughty berthie should command his eye and sink beneath its influence filled her heart with bitter hate aud it was with a great mei-tal effort that i she could control the black curse of ! vengeance which was then about to i burst from her lips what an evil \ fiend a woman's heart ma sometimes become when it suddenly awakes to i the clear conviction that he whom it loves a lqve which it hud treasured like some rich jewel buried in tfie earth unknown to all but its jealous possessor ia suddenly toro from its grasp by a bated rival the vow which this woman at that mo ment made was in time with deadly malice accomplished there is a weaj on sometimes more destructive than the flashing blade or mortal poi son of the forsaken jealous or be | trayed dark eyed brunette of ro mance the tongue of slander al though it does not kill the body of ten cats asunder the heartstrings of the soul and destroys all that we hope for and love in life the fie was no sooner conceived than uttered it went from one fair lip to another and at last reached poor bertbie's earâ€”how it came or whence sbe knew not yet believed dumb paralyzed she walked through the room a moving statue she met him whom she loved ber betrothejd and received hia fondly kind greeting with a itare bo deadly so insulting i and yÂ«t to heartbroken tbat it w*nfc through his soul like a vision from the dead which warned him that his last life's hope was gone then passed on to her homeâ€”her room where we first found her oh the agony of her soul until that hour she did not know of love's might before that lie sho had but glimpses of the over mastering power within her laid i*â€”1 then she felt the sjjiric flame like a sword of lightning tho wings of pas sion like a prisoned storm rent her soul-â€”and vol ahe loved bim never *** more to meet his sweet embrace to hear his dear voice to live as if she had never known him and he her ( love walked forth a changed man the la-it gloomy hgbt of hope was gone tbe malicious tongue tried to strike at him by ch&ngirig the lie koiie knew his love lie had never told it whatever was said to injure her fell likj sword strokes upon a shield it was as if he had never known her and the gossiping world were confounded yet the dream of passion and of bea-ntyâ€”her image his love burned brighter wfthin his soul ii was the subterraneous grot to within the innermost caverns of his heart unknown to all the wtivld besides in which it wus enshrined and whither he retired when all else was sliil to weep and pfay and tbere he daily became a better man no hater of his kind yet shrinking from the great contest for wealth and power name and placeâ€”fbf which men struggle through the small span t of mortalityâ€”the past to him lost and a-blank he began to penetrate tho dark future and saw beyond itaglim mering,fiickering lightâ€”and mentally struggled on ward like a weary trav eler who benighted aud in the storm walks through ways unknown to a fancied beacon which indicates a home of rdfreshmerit and repose a great unci most solemn festival was on the eve of being celebrated and the city was all astir for its soletfinization the hearts of little ehiidt-dn beat high with joy and gladness in anticipation of tbe good things which were being prepared for their happiness tho eteps of the holy altar were crowded with sorrowful penitents who would wash away the frailties of poor weak humanity and meet their redemp tionâ€”the key-stone pf all true wis dom science power and greatness in the mangor of abject poverty per secution defamation heroic suffer ingâ€”--an eternal beatitude years bad passed with their good and evil over his headâ€”passed in vain and < worse than useless pursuitsâ€”^passed with their joys and their sorrows but never before did he comprehend the great truths of life taught from a crib in a stable at bethlehem from whence came the sounds of grief which now lacerated his heart pride and self-love prodigality and waste envy and detraction abused friend ship and misplaced confidence the sweetest flowers of the heart like those which bloom and die upon an uninhabited land givipg out their sweetness to thie winds to be scatter edand lostâ€”ever journeying through weary ways and then immersed in the great mass of the nothingness of life nd bere he found the life-giv ing spiing of which bo many are in weary pursuit following the devout multitude who like the wise men of the east were wending their way to place before the new-born king their offerings of gold frankincense and i myrrh and with them paid adora tion and homage to the one etomal ; who had come to change darkness j into light and to make life an object i and to crown in the end those who j fight well the good fight with an eter j nal beatitude beside him knelt the j who had from the wildest pasoion so basely separated bim from the heart love of his being the stormy paa sioo of an angry soul had subsided remorse and true repentance were followed by that christian peace which the world cannot take away and like magdalen of old she wept at the feet of christ forgiving and forgiven she met him and told him ! all horror wrath and the turbu lent passions of revenge like a coil of vipers infuriated the man and yon would ask pardon of me for whatâ€”the injury done the death yoa have perpetrated i can yoa re store to me the past can pardon re store to me the long day and nights of agony wliicÃŸ your foul tongue has made i i bave been where the red wine free and high is poured ; where â€¢ the dancers meet and sought oblivi on if hells and howw aod hull to bary the grief whith ydu have caus edâ€”and you ask pardon 1 can you will you restore to me the love i b^re lost t my love was more to me than life her loss an agony of for more torture than death will you restore to me the fiery song and deep thot's of blissâ€”those bweet smiles and dear cares-Â»es for want of which my heart is dying ? the sight of you creates within me such horrid thoughts they rushâ€”and as i look within my soul it seems as if i looked down a gulf filled with devils for your de struction 1 as she tremblingly crouched before him and be stood over ber more a demon than a man there arose upon the stillnesi of the midnight air as if from a celestial ckoir the heaven ly and earth rejoicing anthem glo ry be to god on high and peace on earth to men of good will *. we praise the we bless thee we adore tbee the words swept over his soul like heaven's own admonition and tbe storm flas stilled * " great father of all ! thou alone canst pour living balm into the depths of hearts overflowing with flooda of anguish and dee/*-air j forgive me father rocked on tbe heaving dark ness of earthly love i have grown wjld and sinned in my despair and the injured and the injuter the vic tim and the slanderer knelt and pray ed together berthie too proud to complain or utter a sigh which might give the world indications of the great sorrow with which her soul was filled and cut the vital tendrils of her young heartâ€”withered like a tender flower tinder the autumnal winds of hsr mis fortune never once did she utter his name never once afterwards was h-er sorrowing love told on earth the hope was crushed within her that lit up her life she had loved hopefully fondly truly and that love had been wrecked by a rival's malice and her own proud heatt too haughty to ask or seek or admit of one word of explanation ehe had studiously avoided her lover wept over his sorrows as they occasionally reached her ear feit at times as if sbe could throw herself in his arms and forgive him all but ever remained the sameâ€”cold passionless self-pos sessed in her exterior but carrying ever about her a withering dying heart of love and she bent in calm resignation to the burial urn where sunshine nor misfortune wauld never reach her more it was in the early baae of christ mas morn when the devout with gladdened hearts were leaving the sanctuary of divine worship that a woman elegantly dressed but closely veiled was seen wending her way along spanish street and trembling ly stopped at jthe door of one of the handsome mansions which make that thoroughfare the fashionable promenade of the aristocracy within was berthie she was re clining upon a luxurious couch with all the comforts which parental love and wealth could throw around her ; but yet how changedâ€”how purified ! long suffering the slow aching of a broken heart had destroyed the flow ers of her summer's pride rooted out the violent passions of her soul wrecked the bady but enshrined her beauty in a golden halo so bright so seraphic that the beholder might im agine ehe bad already robed herself for a grand and never-coding festival in the celestial sphere the memory of her love was still enchained with in her heart and the soft breathing of its gentle influence the sweet fad ing hope that all might yet be well i still held ker wayward soul in gentle bonds this hope had daily grown | dimmer like ft sammer's breeze which passes through the stillness of the forest and opens the way among the bending boughs for the summer's sun and then is gone a stranger was announced could it be him ? her eyes glistened with meteoric light and her wasted form and her fair young cheek seemed elec trified into a new life by the emo tions of her soul her lover knelt beside her couch and for the first time since their betrothal their lips met oh heaven of extacy and joy to both with her the past for the moment was forgotten with him the heart was full to overflowing with deep sorrow for tbe much misery aad jeatb which but for his pride might haye been averted lip rew her to his bosom and looked upon her fikttâ€”that he o pale co changed mt tr . . it required even a lover's eye to ra cognize tbe supernal divinity ol bi once proud and haughty beadty wb now lay before bim like a sweet bight flower which only when darkness in hovering over it brings cut all ita weeping glories and spreads around it tbe frankincense oi its beavenl-f aroma look up he cried dea bef thie and but foe one moment real upon

of life aro youâ€”can it be are you mine again dearest love the whole world's col lected treasury could not buy from me the happiness of tbis moments if there be a heaven on earth it is this â€¢Â« love she replied i kno tt all and instead of tbat dear swsfei embrace i expected from you a cursl the past cannot be restored earth with all its beauties and iti morning brightness when i had just began to smell the sweet fragrance of its high ly tinted floworsâ€”to taste its dea delightsâ€”your dear sweet loveâ€”a * cloud so,dark a storm so terrific ob soured the morning sun of ray yotttsgf life but believe me that my love/of you has not been false trueâ€”truo indeed even unto death they toljj me tbat you were false and garnish ed up-the falsehood with things so base tbat it was deeply wounded prideâ€”it was griefâ€”it was madoess which like a hurricane rent my soql from yours but yet t loved yoa when we were parted it now seems strange to toe that i btill retained the light of reason tbey told me 0 things so bad ! o why love did we pot that instant fly from slander's foul sting to one another's arms 1 killed me love and yet i could have wept upon your bosom o if yo could only know how 1 havo loved you and with what heart-rcndftr woe and sadness 1 bave wept you absence 1 how i have night and day thought of you over ahd over again until my thoughts grew into the pain of death and my memory tho memory of you dear love liko drops of water upon a stone wore my heart away if youdidbutknow how 1 hate sat day after day and night after night in this desolato home made so because tthy deaf smile and sweet words were not here love how my eyes and heart ever turned at the slightest sound to tho way you were to come and how all through those long nights and days of hope and disappointment your sweet voice and your well knowa * step were ever sounding in my eaf and you came not o love you would not wonder that at last when all tho hope which the deserted heart clings to for life faded away from me and left me nothing but the dreary blank of desolationâ€”tbat at last despair ing i resigned myself to god who gave me to the grave she was here this morningâ€”poor unhappy woman and told me all but she has gone " she has not gone said tho un happy penitent rising up from th | couching position she bas assumed in an obscure corner of the room and coming towards
